Coordinator notes: The Green Comma or Colorado Angle-wing (Polygonia faunus hylas). Note the concise spots on the hindwings. The Hoary and Satyr Commas have this area rather blurry without such small, distinct spots. Sorry it has taken me so long to ID your submission. If you have others I will get them finished this week.
